題点がある。However, the hot water supply pipe 24 and the vacuum pump are connected by a piping member or a flexible hose or the like via a pressure reducing pipe 26.
The transfer metal and its oxide adhere to the inner surface of the hot water transfer pipe 24. For this reason, the hot water transfer pipe 24 is configured by combining a curved pipe and a straight pipe and detachably connecting them together for maintenance such as removal of the attached matter. For this reason, the hot water transfer pipe 24 has a large number of connection parts, and it is inevitable that air leaks from these connection parts. Therefore, after the stop valve 28 of the pressure reducing pipe 26 is closed, the pressure inside the hot water transfer pipe 24 gradually increases due to air leak from the connection portion. Eventually, the pressure in the hot water supply pipe 24 rises to a pressure at which the siphon action cannot be maintained, so that there is a problem that the transfer of the molten metal L cannot be continued for a long time.

Approaching pressure. Then, the pressure sensor 7 becomes the hot water pipe 4
When the internal pressure reaches a predetermined pressure slightly lower than the pressure at which the transfer cannot be continued, this is detected, and this detection signal is input to the operation panel 15. The operation panel 15 outputs an opening signal to the pressure reducing electromagnetic valve 11 based on the detection signal of the pressure sensor 7 to open the pressure reducing electromagnetic valve 11. Then, the inside of the hot water pipe 4 and the vacuum pump 12 communicate again, and the pressure inside the hot water pipe 4 is reduced. Thereafter, when the pressure in the hot water supply pipe 4 returns to a pressure at which stable transfer by the siphon action is possible, the operation panel 15 outputs a close signal to the pressure reducing solenoid valve 11, and the pressure reducing solenoid valve 11 is closed. As a result, the pressure reduction in the hot water transfer pipe 4 is stopped.

When the detection signal is input, the operation panel 15 outputs a close signal to the pressure reducing electromagnetic valve 11 to close the pressure reducing electromagnetic valve 11. Then, the operation panel 15 outputs an open signal to the atmosphere opening solenoid valves 5, 13, and 14, and opens the atmosphere opening solenoid valves 5, 13, and 14.

And the signal of the detection rod 3 is input to the operation panel 15,
Since the operation panel 15 outputs the opening / closing signal to each of the solenoid valves 5, 11, 13, and 14 to open and close each of the solenoid valves 5, 11, 13, and 14, the operation panel 15 starts from the start of the transfer of the molten metal L. Automation until the end can be achieved. Each time the pressure sensor 7 detects that the pressure inside the hot water pipe 4 has increased due to air leak or the like, the pressure inside the hot water pipe 4 is reduced, and the pressure inside the hot water pipe 4 transfers the molten metal. Is maintained within the required pressure range. Thereby, the siphon action is maintained, and the molten metal L is stably transferred. In this case, the range of the pressure required for continuing the transfer is determined by the type of the molten metal L and the distance between the surface of the hot water container 2 and the top of the hot water pipe 4.
